What Oxford eats accounts for around a fifth of its total carbon emissions. The food system of the city is responsible for the equivalent of 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. To put that into context, this is twice the emissions arising from all of the cars in the city.

In a city that consumes nearly 130,000 tonnes of food a year, only 52% is sourced within the UK and a mere 1% comes from local sources. This directory is about increasing awareness of all the amazing local food sources and outlets in and around Oxford so that people from all walks of life can make an informed choice about where they get their food from.
